Requirements
letter maps runs in the browser, so there's nothing to download. Here's what each mode needs.
For voice-following
- A browser with speech recognition — Chrome or another Chromium-based browser works best.
- A working microphone, built-in or external.
- Microphone permission when the browser asks.
- An internet connection, unless you're using on-device recognition.
For on-device (offline) voice
- Chrome 139 or newer.
- On-device recognition enabled in settings.
- A one-time language-model download the first time you use a language.
For auto-scroll
- Any modern browser — no microphone needed.
- Works offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it work on Safari or Firefox?
- Auto-scroll works in any modern browser. Voice-following relies on browser speech recognition, which is most reliable in Chrome and other Chromium browsers.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes — a phone propped near your camera is a common setup.
